Berkeley scientific

Berkeley Scientific is the undergraduate science journal of the University of California, Berkeley. The focus of the journal is broad, spanning scientific disciplines from ecology to engineering, from astronomy to biochemistry. Our intended audience includes, but is not limited to, UC Berkeley students, faculty, and the surrounding community. Since its start in 1996, it has expanded to give the Berkeley scientific community a more in-depth understanding of itself, a broader understanding of how events here at Berkeley affect the world, and vice versa.

You probably know that ingesting too much sugar is not good for your body. However, did you know that more than harming your health, sweets can be more addictive than cocaine? Exactly, sugar addiction is real. It makes someone dependent by “hijacking” the brain’s reward pathways. Recent neurochemical and behavioral evidences show how sugar acts in the organism, transforming a something pleasurable into dependency.

In the human body, statistically self-similar models are most commonly applied to branching structures in the lung and in networks of blood vessels. The latter application has had particular importance in medical studies of cancer, as there is evidence that understanding the fractal geometry of tumor vasculature may aid in identification and targeted treatment of cancers.
